DNA INVESTIGATION

A scientific discovery

The human body. We all have one.

Every body is different. Every fingerprint is different.

Why?

It is in our DNA.

Our bodies are made up of tiny cells

And in those cells is our DNA

This DNA sends important messages to our body when we are still in the womb.

RNA takes the messages from the DNA to your body

The messages from the DNA decide what color our eyes will be.

The messages from the DNA decide what color our hair will be.

The messages from the DNA decide how tall you will be.

WOW! DNA decides what our body will look like.

RNA takes the messages to our body.

Great investigating! Now you know more about your body.
